"Thoroughly Modern Bing"
I was talking about this album on the Bing Crosby facebook, and I commented on how much I disliked the album. Well, I haven't listened to the album in over 10 years. So I put it on, and it was a lot better than I remembered it!
I uploaded the entire album to You Tube, and here is my ranking of the songs...
1. THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE

Re: "Thoroughly Modern Bing"
Here is a track that was recorded for the LP, but it was not released on the album but only as a single...
WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS

Re: "Thoroughly Modern Bing"
I am currently revisiting this album, and it is sad with the lack of "Where The Rainbow Ends" on most CD releases. I think it is the best track recorded for the album, unless maybe the one track that has never been issued.
Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven.
